Chris Tierney lofted a corner kick into the box. Diego Fagundez’s shot was blocked by Luis Robles, but Fagundez lined home the rebound.

The Revs’ lead lasted exactly one minute before New York’s Lloyd Sam lined a shot into the far left corner after being led downfield on a pass by Kosuke Kimura.

What transpired before Sam’s goal really irked Revs coach Jay Heaps.

“I think it’s a matter of concentration,” Heaps said. “It’s a situation where you score a goal and you’re elated and you’re tired. But I hate celebrations. I like only one or two guys to celebrate.

“If you ever go back and watch my film, I tried to get back and defend. That’s a defender’s time to gather his breath. After you score goals you have to turn on. It was poor. It was so disappointing to give up a goal the way we did right after we scored. It was a momentary loss of concentration and – boom – they scored.”

Bobby Shuttleworth, who was in goal for the Revs (2-4-4), placed the blame for New York’s goal on his own shoulders.

“For me, it’s disappointing because I thought I could have done better there,” he said. “It’s difficult because they have one shot on goal and it’s a goal.

“It’s not good enough from my perspective, on myself.”

One Revolution player who didn’t suffer any lapses in concentration was Fagundez, who was credited with six shots and was flat-out robbed by Red Bulls keeper Luis Robles in the 79th minute.

Tierney crossed the ball to Fagundez in the box and Robles reacted instantly, blocking what appeared to be a sure goal.

“(Robles) told me it was just a reaction play,” Fagundez said. “It was a good save by him. There was nothing I could have done.”

As far as Heaps was concerned, Fagundez’s performance was another step in the maturation process of the team’s youngest player.

“Diego had a heck of a night,” Heaps said. “I think you’re seeing he’s a two-way player. He’s a good little player.”
